Research interests and career highlights
Dr Fabiana Zingone has always been involved in clinical and basic gastroenterology research, since she was a trainee doctor in Gastroenterology, especially regarding gluten related disorders (coeliac disease and non-coeliac gluten sensitivity) and inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn Diseases and Ulcerative Colitis). After her residency at the “Federico II” University of Naples she took part in a Clinical Research Training Fellowship in Gastrointestinal Epidemiology at the Division of Epidemiology and Public Heath of the School of Community Health Sciences at The University of Nottingham as Academic Visitor, obtaining a Master in Applied Epidemiology. She then continued her research work in Nottingham as a post-graduate Occasional Student as part of her PhD. During this period, Dr. Zingone developed the ability to analyse big data and conduct epidemiological studies. She is a member of the “Oslo Group” international study group and has contributed to define the standard coeliac disease terminology (Gut 2013) and write the coeliac disease management guidelines (Gut 2014). In December 2015, she completed her PhD on the “Epidemiology of coeliac disease”. From August 2012 to June 2017 she conducted several research projects on coeliac disease at the University of Salerno, publishing several peer-reviewed papers on this topic. In June 2017 she obtained her current position as fixed-term Assistant Professor at the Department of Surgery, Oncology and Gastroenterology at the University of Padua where she is now continuing her research activity on immune-mediated gastrointestinal disorders with particular focus on inflammatory bowel disease and gluten related disorders and on gastrointestinal epidemiology. In April 2017 she obtained the National Academic Qualification as Associate Professor - SETTORE CONCORSUALE 06/D4 MALATTIE CUTANEE, MALATTIE INFETTIVE E MALATTIE APPARATO DIGERENTE.
